I'm trying to crawl this page and the links for the next pages. https://www.chavesnamao.com.br/carros/usados/brasil/
<a href="javascript:;" onclick="goToPage(2); return false;" rel="next" title="Página 2">2</a>
The links that are leading to next pages are generated with this goToPage() function. The function generates a query string like this;
{"pg":"1","or":"","c":"","e":"","r":"50","view":"tabela"}
pg is the page parameter of the request. Is there any systematic way to implement a Rule which follows those pages and call a parse function or do I need to hardcode a loop which increments the pg parameter and sends request every time? This is my question and my spider is below.
class MySpider(CrawlSpider):
name = 'myspider'
start_urls = [
'https://www.chavesnamao.com.br/carros/usados/brasil/#{%22pg%22:%221%22,%22or%22:%22%22,%22c%22:%22%22,%22e%22:%22%22,%22r%22:%2250%22,%22view%22:%22tabela%22}',
]
def parse(self, response):
#logging.warning('parse function called on %s', response.url)
#from scrapy.shell import inspect_response
#inspect_response(response, self)
items = response.css('div.view ul#listagem li div a.description::attr(href)').getall()
for item in items:
yield scrapy.Request(
url='{}'.format(item),
method='GET',
callback=self.parse_items,
headers={'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.169 Safari/537.36'}
)
def parse_items(self, response):
